chuckle. NSTIC is about public relations.
If you want accountability, you want regulatory requirements and enforcement. See, 47 CFR.
Isn't that what OIX is doing with its "trust frameworks" :)
If you want privacy, find a nice trail in the wilderness and turn off your communications devices.
The freedom to use a pseudonym online that is persistent and not a spammer and not spouting hate speech and not doing anything illegal is what this is about. It is about what people can choose to publicly link or in certain cervices via their so called "real" name NOT "privacy". If the spooks you work for want to spy on all of us to keep us safe from terrorism "fine" - sure just take away all our "privacy" on the back end.... but that is a totally different problem then the one I am raising which is whether people with medical conditions they want to talk about with others and get support (share +1s) or a buddhist in Kansas (can share freely with other buddhists or seekers without their hyper conservative christian neighbors finding out) or having a feminist persona that is not linked to your work identity in the tech industry (and if it was you would find work had to come by in the valley) is free to use google+ not linked to a "real name". It is about freedom of speech and self representation on the network. Expression not "privacy".

NSTIC "says" it is about maintaining privacy and freedom of speach we have today on the internet while enabling "when you want to" the ability to use a verified account...but I don't have a good feeling about this.
